Automation Intern - Mold masters

As an Automation Developer at Mold Masters, I engineered custom automation tools using VB.NET to optimize CAD model creation and streamline manufacturing workflows. I quickly mastered the language to automate repetitive tasks within the CAD process, significantly reducing the time and effort required to generate models. This allowed engineers and designers to focus on more complex, high-value work.

One of my primary focuses was user-centric design. I regularly engaged with tool users to gather feedback and iteratively improve the functionality of the automation tools. This ensured that the solutions I developed were tailored to the specific needs of the users, enhancing usability and productivity across teams.

I also automated data analysis from SQL databases, which helped generate critical reports for management meetings. These reports provided real-time insights and enabled data-driven decision-making, further streamlining the company’s operations. My work in this area helped key stakeholders quickly access the information they needed for effective strategy discussions.

Throughout my time at Mold Masters, I emphasized the importance of cross-departmental communication. By working closely with various teams, I ensured that the tools I developed aligned with the company's broader goals. This collaboration helped deliver automation solutions that directly contributed to improved efficiency and operational success.

Due to my contributions, I was invited to continue working part-time after completing my Professional Experience Year (PEY), where I remain involved in ongoing projects to refine automation tools and further enhance the company's manufacturing systems. My role at Mold Masters has given me valuable experience in programming, automation, and data analysis, while allowing me to make a meaningful impact on the company's overall productivity and workflow efficiency.

Material Sceience Researcher - AP2D Lab

During the summer, I worked under Professor Nazir Kherani at the Advanced Photovoltaics-Photonics and Devices (AP2D) Lab, in collaboration with 3ENano, a leader in solar coatings for window panes. The project focused on developing dynamic windows to improve the thermal insulation of buildings.

My role involved extensive research on window spacers and thermal insulation techniques. I conducted a literature review to understand the current technologies and patents, which laid the foundation for my simulations using THERM and WINDOW software. I tested various window configurations, including multi-pane designs with different materials and coatings like PMMA and silver stack coatings, to optimize U-Value and thermal performance under varying environmental conditions.

As the project progressed, I ran simulations on triple-pane windows, analyzing the effects of different coating positions and materials across seasonal extremes. I also explored how these innovations could impact manufacturing and presented my findings to senior researchers at 3ENano, gaining valuable insights from industry professionals.

This research experience helped me bridge the gap between academic research and industry applications, further fueling my passion for expanding my knowledge in energy-efficient technologies.

Undergraduate Researcher - AP2D Lab

During my 4-month summer research term at the AP2D Lab, led by Professor Kherani, I worked on developing a concept design for a dynamic window that utilized a Radiant Energy Veil to reduce energy loss in various environments. The project aimed to create an innovative solution to improve thermal regulation in buildings.

The first phase of my research involved conducting an extensive literature review, where I analyzed existing patents, research papers, and products related to heat transfer in windows. This research not only familiarized me with the science behind thermally modulated windows but also ensured that our design was original and not already patented.

Following the literature review, we began the initial design phase. I contributed by generating multiple concept ideas and creating CAD models for each design to help visualize and refine our concepts. After several iterations and team discussions, we narrowed down the design to a single concept and continued refining it through another stage of divergence.

Although I cannot showcase the complete designs due to confidentiality, this project significantly improved my CAD skills and deepened my understanding of product design and energy-efficient technologies.
